Dextrose (12.5 – 20%) and procaine (1%) are injected. A purposeful and mild inflammation response occurs. Growth of new tendons and ligaments begins. New tissue is up to 40% stronger than the original tissue. Dextrose makes the solution more concentrated than blood, acting as a strong proliferant and procaine is an anesthetic. Other things may be added such as hyaluronic acid or Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) depending on the type of injury. Most people require 4 – 6 injections administered every 2 – 3 weeks over the course of several months. Dr. Riddle will advise patients based on their individual situation.
